Ride the BlueRidge Parkway, Dragon, Skyway

Come one--come all...
I got a 4 day kitchen pass to do some riding over the Memorial Day weekend--departing 7 am Friday morning and returning on Monday. Get off the fence and come ride with me. Guaranteed to find the twisties, very scenic routes, and BBQ stops for lunch--what more could you ask for. If you want to go but can't--at least share your favorite route with me. Thanks in advance.

nice side road in va would be Rt. 56 in either direction from the parkway, or both. with maybe a stop in at Montebello and/or Crabtree falls,both on the eastern side.
In NC there is Rt. 226 near Little Switzerland right off the parkway, and of course I have to insist a night's stay at the Alpine Inn right there. Its a very kool little Inn with a spectacular view and wonderful rooms and great b-fest, see pics Here can't say enough about it but once you stay you'll be back
Ride 441 over the Smokies, at one point the road does a 360 deg loop thru a tunnel then up and over the same roadway and continues in the same direction with a 100+ foot elevation change.

I'm heading to Ocean City, Maryland on Friday night late and returning early on Sunday with the family. Once home I'm going to head down to Willville to spend Sunday night and come back to Northern Virginia on Monday - I may run across you somewhere down in that neck of the woods.

Hey Magic - have a great time! I'm doing a quick trip to IL and back over the weekend. My trip will be fun but the ride there and back won't be nearly as eventful as YOURS. Have fun for all of us!!
